1 Retail cascades - the UKLA announcement in List! 16 In List! 16 1, the UKLA published an announcement entitled Retail debt cascades. This note summarises our understanding of the nature of the retail cascade referred to in the List! announcement and sets out some suggested language for inclusion in prospectuses to satisfy the requirement set out in the List! announcement. It also describes how the List! announcement applies in the context of a drawdown under a programme. It is not intended as legal advice and it is for issuers and their advisers to decide how to comply with the legal requirements applicable to, and how to structure, a particular transaction. In addition, this note does not deal with local laws which may be applicable in countries where the securities may be offered, such as conduct of business rules or other consumer protection legislation. It has been discussed with, but not approved by, the UKLA. 2 Concept of retail cascade Retail cascade is a term denoting one of the prevailing methods of non-exempt retail distribution of debt securities. It involves the issuer selling the securities to investment banks underwriting the issue who, in turn, sell them to retail distributors, thereby creating a distribution chain. Over a period of time ranging from several days to several months, which frequently extends beyond the issue date of the securities, the retail distributors then sell the securities to their clients at prices that may vary from sale to sale, reflecting market conditions at the time of sale. Solution proposed in List! announcement With reference to Article 23.4 of the Prospectus Directive Regulation, as the List! article points out, an issuer may in appropriate cases use this derogation to omit information on the offers by the managers to the retail distributors as required by the Annex V/5 (or XII/5) of the Prospectus Directive Regulation. Despite this omission, such offers may in principle remain covered by the approved prospectus where the retail distributors making them are acting in association with the issuer. Detailed information relating to such offers can be omitted under Article 23.4 in those cases where the information is not known or cannot reasonably practicably be provided at the time of the initial offer. On the other hand, where the information is known then, unless it is not pertinent 3, it should be disclosed. 1 See 2 With the exception of the annex to this note which has not been discussed with the UKLA. 3 For example, if it is known at the date of the prospectus or final terms that ABC Private Bank is going to make offers in association with the issuer, then its name and address should be included under paragraph of the Regulation. However, even though the general business terms of ABC Private Bank are known, they do not need to be disclosed under paragraph of the Regulation, because they are not pertinent. Equally, the initial offer price by ABC Private Bank will not be pertinent if the offer price will change frequently during the offer period and therefore need not be disclosed under paragraph of the Regulation, because it will very likely not be the price at which investors will buy from ABC Private Bank.
2 Statement in prospectus According to the UKLA, issuers wishing to utilise Article 23.4 should include a clear statement in the prospectus alerting investors to the need to check with the person from whom they buy securities, whether that person is authorised by the issuer to make the offer and, if not, who is responsible to such investor for the prospectus for the purposes of section 90 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 ( FSMA ). The purpose of the statement is to enable an investor to establish whether, under the FSA Prospectus Rules, the issuer would be responsible, to that investor, for the prospectus under section 90 of FSMA, which the issuer will be if it has authorised the offeror to make that offer to that investor. If an offeror is not so authorised, only that offeror may be responsible for the prospectus. The statement is intended to highlight to the investor the need to check whether it can rely on the contents of the prospectus and who is legally responsible for the contents. This risk arises due to the fact that it is not possible for the prospectus to list every offeror who is taking part in the retail cascade offer. The statement does not address any other basis of liability for the information in the prospectus, in particular any liability which may otherwise arise under English common law or which may arise under the law of any other country where the securities may be offered. The statement should be included on the front page of the prospectus (as suggested in the List! announcement). In addition, to avoid the responsibility statement (which will typically appear elsewhere in the prospectus) being misinterpreted, it may be sensible to include the following sentence immediately after the responsibility statement: The previous paragraph should be read in conjunction with the [ th] paragraph on the first page of this prospectus. The requirement for the statement can be met with the following language: Any person (an Investor) intending to acquire or acquiring any securities from any person (an Offeror) should be aware that, in the context of an offer to the public as defined in section 102B of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA), the Issuer may be responsible to the Investor for the [Offering Circular/Prospectus] under section 90 of FSMA, only if the Issuer has authorised that Offeror to make the offer to the Investor. Each Investor should therefore enquire whether the Offeror is so authorised by the Issuer. If the Offeror is not authorised by the Issuer, the Investor should check with the Offeror whether anyone is responsible for the [Offering Circular/Prospectus] for the purposes of section 90 of FSMA in the context of the offer to the public, and, if so, who that person is. If the Investor is in any doubt about whether it can rely on the [Offering Circular/Prospectus] and/or who is responsible for its contents it should take legal advice. In addition, issuers should include the following language: An Investor intending to acquire or acquiring any [securities] from an Offeror will do so, and offers and sales of the [securities] to an Investor by an Offeror will be made, in accordance with any terms and other arrangements in place between such Offeror and such Investor including as to price, allocations and settlement arrangements. The Issuer will not be a party to any such arrangements with Investors (other than [Dealers]) in connection with the offer or sale of the [securities] and, accordingly, this Prospectus and any Final Terms will not contain such information and an Investor must obtain such information from the Offeror. Page 2 of 7
3 Information to be provided to investors when the offer is made It is the responsibility of each person making an offer to ensure that information relating to its offer that has been omitted from a prospectus under Article 23.4 is provided to investors by it at the time that offer is made. Authorisation of offerors Issuers contemplating using a non-exempt retail cascade method of distribution of securities will need to consider what mechanics are appropriate, to ensure that the relevant offerors know whether or not they are duly authorised by the issuer to make offers to investors. Application of List! announcement to offering programmes The List! announcement will be relevant in respect of those base prospectuses: for which the UKLA is the home Member State competent authority; where the programme envisages that securities with a denomination of less than EUR 50,000 (or equivalent) may be issued ( low-denomination programmes ); where it is intended that offers of Notes may be made on a non-exempt basis through a retail cascade and it is not reasonably practicable to include the specific information about the offer; and which include the wording set out above. On the establishment or update of such a programme, the checklist submitted to the UKLA along with the base prospectus should specify in the comment box that the issuer intends to rely on Article 23.4 in respect of any drawdowns where the securities will be offered by means of a non-exempt retail cascade. The final terms completing the base prospectus for such a drawdown should contain placeholders for all the Annex V/5 (or XII/5) information. The suggested final terms, published by ICMA in July 2007, may serve as a template for this purpose. If Article 23.4 is relied upon for a particular drawdown, the relevant placeholders should have N/A against them. The Annex to this note provides an illustrative example of the treatment of the Annex V.5 (or XII/5) placeholders in the final terms for a retail cascade drawdown. When completing such a drawdown, the checklists and comment boxes contemplated by the List! announcement will not be available, because the final terms are not submitted for approval. However, it is understood that Article 23.4 will apply to drawdowns under a programme, even though it is not possible to comply with the checklist and comment box procedures. An issuer with an existing low-denomination programme (which is not due to be updated) wishing to rely on Article 23.4 and offer securities by way of a retail cascade, will need to notify the UKLA that it seeks to rely on Article 23.4 and amend the base prospectus by way of a supplemental prospectus to include the statement above. Where a prospectus has been passported into other Member States, the certificate of approval in relation to the passported prospectus is required, under Article 18(2) of the Prospectus Directive, to refer to any omissions of information otherwise required to be included in that prospectus. To enable this to occur in respect of the certificate of approval for the supplemental prospectus, an issuer may wish to state its intention to rely on Page 3 of 7
